The RF performance of wireless consumer products is heavily affected by the antennas serving the various radio system. The antenna solutions provided for each communication system must be packaged in a manner compatible with high volume / low cost manufacturing processes and the systems employed to assemble them. In this paper, we present a trio of advanced antenna manufacturing processes developed to meet or exceed the stringent performance and packaging needs (present and future) for several disparate consumer wireless markets/product categories. This presentation details our unique, proprietary execution of the following advanced manufacturing processes: In-Mold Labeling (IML), Print-and-Plate (P&P) conductor deposition, and High Performance / Low Cost RF Substrate Assemblies. We demonstrate the utility of these manufacturing processes by prototyping equivalent sets of benchmark antenna structures (employing both our advanced and conventional fabrication processes) and compare their measured RF performance using typical passive antenna metrics (radiated efficiency, antenna gain patterns, impedance match, etc.). The commendable RF performance of these manufacturing technologies, coupled with their packaging and assembly benefits, highlight the true significance of these innovative manufacturing technologies.

60GHz LNA/PAs, Phase shifters (PS), combiners and switches were designed for integrated phase array in CMOS. These components achieved the best known power consumption and size compared to previous publications reported, as a result of the methodology flow and layout optimization that was developed for 60 GHz designs. The extensive use of passive architecture together with the compact layout will enable full integrated phase arrays with tens of elements with 20mm2 size and less that 1 Watt of TX power.

A nonlinear binary code with a single carrier M-QAM linear modulation is designed to control certain transitions in the symbol constellation. This concept is employed to develop spectral shaping modulation codes with M-QAM linear modulations so as to reduce out-of-band power. The code is realized as a nonlinear binary convolutional code, and the coded modulation is represented as a Markov chain. The closed form of the power spectral density for this trellis coded modulation is derived.

This paper presents a new wafer level packaging (WLP) technique that combines thin, low cost organic layers with high performance MMICs. More specifically, we present a GaAs-based single stage amplifier covered with layers of a low loss Liquid Crystal Polymer organic material. It was observed that the RF performance of the MMIC is virtually unaffected by this technique unlike conventional packaging processes that degrade the RF performance due to the overlay of the dielectric material on the MMIC. The insertion loss for the laser ablated 50 micron vias was minimal up to 20 GHz. These results show that the hybrid WLP can be successfully implemented with virtually no performance degradation.

This paper presents the results of field trials conducted to measure and compare indoor airlink data rates from femtocells to indoor coverage from macrocells and concludes that operators can expect to see significant (3–5x) improvement in average airlink data throughput relative to the existing macrocell network. Tests were conducted in a number of single family and multi-unit residences. The paper concentrates on UMTS/HSDPA measurements and presents the methodology used in tests and offers summary results. It shows that the case for using femtocells for broadband data services is stronger than for voice based services.

In this paper we describe research on a microwave optical receiver where analog microwave circuitry is replaced by photonic components. The ultimate goal is to produce an optical-digital receiver capable of providing a spurious free dynamic range of ~140dBHz2/3 and a signal to noise ratio of 7dB in the 0 to 20GHz range with a 4 GHz bandwidth.

We investigate the use of synchronized superpositionmodulation for increasing spectral efficiency of frequency division multiple access systems such as the long-term evolution extension of UMTS. We present the basic concept and depict results for an arbitrary two-user scenario. In Addition, a method of optimizing constellations for multiple users is defined based on maximizing the sum-rate mutual-information. The optimization method is applied to a three-user scenario. Preliminary results motivate further research into means of implementing superpositionmodulation in FDMA systems.

This paper describes a new technique that allows group delay and relative phase measurements of frequency converters and mixers that don't have access to the local oscillator or the reference signal. In contrast to the methods offered by network analyzers in the past, the measurement accuracy of this technique is independent of the frequency and phase stability of the internal local oscillator of the DUT. The key of this new method is, that the DUT is stimulated with an nearly arbitrary two-tone signal. The phase difference between these two carriers is measured at the input and the output of the DUT to derive the group delay and the relative phase of the conversion loss of the DUT.

The distortion mechanisms in supply modulation introduced by the PWM generator, the frequency response of DC regulator and the limited bandwidth of the high frequency recovery unit are analyzed for EDGE polar transmitters. It is demonstrated that there is an optimum regulator bandwidth that minimizes the total residual energy originated from the PWM generator and the low pass filter characteristics of the buck converter. The output spectrum was analyzed for a 5MHz PWM clock frequency buck converter. The results show that in order to meet EDGE transmission mask requirements, the bandwidth requirements of the high frequency recovery unit should be at least 10MHz for 300KHz converter bandwidth while a 95KHz converter bandwidth demands for no compensation at high frequencies.

Femtocells offer a promising way of extending macrocellular network coverage to indoor residential environments. If femtocells are spaced one per home, each on it's own lot, interference low. For dense deployments, i.e. multi-unit construction, SIRS can become very low. Thus we propose a greedy frequency planning algorithm which only uses measurements at the femto-access point. Simulation results show an improvement in SIR due to using the new frequency plan.
